Chapter Forty-Nine: Rectifying the Soldiers and Horses (I)

Last night, in order to enhance the relationship between Liangshan and the whole of Liangshan, the most important thing was to win over Lin Chong.

Shi Jin set down the banquet, Yang Zhi and Zhu Wu matched, and invited Lin Chong, Du Qian, Song Wan, and Zhu Gui.

When Shi Jin took out the burning knife, he smelled the intoxicating aroma of wine.

Lin Chong and their throats suddenly itched, needless to say, a glass of wine.

Immediately, his face flushed, like his stomach was on fire, but everyone endured it without making a sound.

When the spicy energy passed, everyone shouted, "Good wine." This wine is good! ”

There is no need to persuade much, Lin Chong, these guys who are good at drinking, drink wine in their own big bowls and eat meat.

Soon, though, the guys, who had never been exposed to spirits before, got drunk.

The leopard head Lin Chong stripped naked, crying for a while and laughing for a while, and the whole person was crazy and drunk.

If it weren't for Shi Jin and Yang Zhi to stop them, I was afraid that the Juyi Hall would be demolished.

Touching the sky, Du Qian directly hugged the wine bottle and fell drunk under the table.

Song Gang vomited a few times, and on the way back, he was drunk directly outside, if it wasn't for the little minion who helped him into the room, he was afraid that he would have to blow a cold wind outside all night.

Zhu Gui is a little better, after all, he is a restaurant, and the amount of wine is a little better, but it is not much better.

The two minions didn't hold him, and shouted vigorously, "I'm not drunk!" I'm not drunk......"

In order to prove that he is not drunk, he has to drink again.

Zhu Wu and a few people from Shaohua Mountain had drunk this burning knife before and knew that it was powerful. Ordered his subordinates early to send himself back to the room if he drank too much.

Among so many people, Shi Jin is better, after all, he is used to drinking in modern times, and in order to have more opportunities to act, he has no less people to drink with the top of the group.

Early the next morning, Shi Jin got up early.

Shi Jin thought of the wine last night, which somewhat dispelled the bad impact of killing Wang Lun and seizing power and usurping the throne.

Although Song Gang and Du Qian still have scruples about Shi Jin, Shi Jin believes that as long as he spends some more time, he will definitely be able to win them over.

Now that he has seized Liangshan, the most important thing is to plan for a future uprising.

The most important thing in front of us is to grasp the military power of Liangshan.

The barrel of the gun out of the regime!

Only by grasping the military power in his hands can he truly control Liangshan, and he is qualified to say that he will rebel and fight the world!

Shi Jin knew that the matter of grasping military power should be sooner rather than later, and it should be delayed rather than urgent.

Early! It means that the control of the army must be implemented now.

Slow! It means that the matter of controlling the army cannot be rushed, but must be done step by step. First get the right to command, and then slowly drive the black sheep, the pest of the traitor department, out of the army, rectify military discipline, and build a strong army!

Collected seven or eight hundred small minions from Liangshan, plus more than 400 people brought by himself. Although there are more than 1,000 people, if you want to revolt and rebel, this number of soldiers and horses is simply not enough, and the army has been expanded, but how to solve the problem of food and salary?

Although the number of troops has skyrocketed tenfold, judging from the fact that no one dared to come up to stop Wang Lun yesterday, except for his own more than 200 villagers, the others are basically a rabble.

The fighting will of the bandits in Liangshan is really weak, and the most fatal thing is that they lack the "military soul".

Such an army will encounter the elite of the Song army and the elite of the Jin country in the future, especially the famous Tiefutu and the abducted horse of the Jin country, and I am afraid that it will collapse at the first touch.

Moreover, the army is extremely chaotic, with the bankers and family members brought by themselves, more than 300 bandits who followed the original Shaohua Mountain, and the old department of Liangshan.

The weapons they use, all kinds of weapons, are mixed together, so how can they work together?

It is necessary to rectify and train strictly in order to form an effective combat capability.

Shi Jin carefully listed the things to be dealt with with with a pen, and he thought about it for a long time in the room before he roughly sorted things out.

After the family changed clothes and washed, he ordered Lin Chong, Zhu Wu and other leaders to go to the cottage lobby to discuss matters.

Shi Jin first said to Lin Chong, "Brother Lin, that Huahua Tai Sui has been harassing my sister-in-law, and besides, it is not a way for the two of you to separate the two places like this." In the opinion of brothers, it is more appropriate for Brother Lin to send someone to invite his sister-in-law and others to the mountain as soon as possible to complete the gathering. What does Brother Lin think? ”

Hearing Shi Jin talk about it, Lin Chong suddenly missed his wife in Beijing, and his survival was not guaranteed. In the past, I saw that Wang Lun was uncertain and difficult to live, so he didn't dare to move his wife up the mountain.

Now that Liang Shan is his brother in charge, Lin Chong is naturally unwilling to be separated from his wife again.

Lin Chong hurriedly stood up and thanked, "If it weren't for the reminder of the big boss, Lin Chong would have forgotten about this." Lin Chong wrote a letter, and he was also bothered that the big boss would send someone to spread the word that my apprentice Cao Zheng would escort my lady up the mountain! ”

Lin Chong was anxious, so he finished writing the letter in the lobby and attached a jade pendant as a token.

Shi Jin immediately asked Wang Si and a few people to ride horses, brought three hundred taels of silver for the journey, and led Lin Chong's letter to Yupei to rush to Mengzhou, and asked Cao Zheng to invite Lin Chong's lady to come up the mountain!

After Wang Si left, Lin Chong sat in the lobby and waited happily for his wife to go up the mountain.

Shi Jin saw Lin Chong's happy appearance, thinking that he didn't have to be a widower like in history, and he was also happy for him.

However, today I specially reminded Lin Chong to invite his wife to go up the mountain, but it was for a more important matter.

After Shi Jin looked at the few brothers sitting there, he said: "Everyone, we will gather in the mountains and forests, and if we grow stronger in the future, we will inevitably provoke officers and soldiers. Prepare early! ”

Zhu Wu hurriedly stood up and said, "What the eldest brother said is that the armament on the mountain is not complete, and I am afraid that when I come, I will not be able to resist it." I hope that the eldest brother will prepare as soon as possible. ”

Shi Jin shouted, "Brother Zhu Wu is right, in order to meet the officers and soldiers and protect the safety of Liangshan, I intend to accumulate food in the village, and at the same time rectify the soldiers and horses." What do Brother Lin, Brother Song, and Brother Du think? ”

Among these people, Shi Jin cares most about Lin Chong. If Lin Chong didn't object, then the old department of Liangshan would not be able to turn the sky.

Lin Chong originally looked down on the bandits in Liangshan, and the military discipline was loose.

Lin Chong stood up and arched his hand and said, "Lin Chong agrees too!" ”

Shi Jin immediately shouted, "Okay, since Brother Lin agrees." Then from today onwards, we will begin to rectify the whole of Liangshan. Zhu Wu, you are in charge of the soldiers' rations, how many soldiers and horses are there in Liangshan at the moment, and how many weapons are there? ”

The matter of rectifying the soldiers and horses in Liangshan was discussed by Zhu Wu early in the morning. Early in the morning, Zhu Wu counted the people and horses in Liangshan and the warehouse on the hour.

Zhu Wu replied, "Brother Hui, now there are 150 guests and 35 cavalrymen in the original Shijiazhuang. There are 254 bandits in Shaohua Mountain, including 97 sword soldiers, 125 spearmen and 32 stick soldiers. There were 742 people in the old department of Yangsan, including 195 sword soldiers, 322 spearmen, 44 stick soldiers, and 191 fishermen and sailors. A total of 1,151 people, 877 are young and strong, and the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled, who are not of great use. In terms of weapons, there were 330 machetes, 510 spears, 11 large ships, and 213 small boats. Not counting the chiefs, there were 35 good horses and 4 horses. ”

Shi Jin lowered his head and thought for a while, and shouted, "This kind of soldiers and horses are far from enough, step up the recruitment of troops." In addition, they stocked grain, built ships, made and arranged military weapons, arranged fences and city walls, built houses, straightened out robes and armor, and made guns, knives, bows, and arrows. Get ready to meet the enemy's officers! ”

Lin Chong and the others heard Qi Qi stand up and clench his fists and shout, "Yes, big boss!" ”

These are all general strategies, but as for the details, Shi Jin needs a lot of consideration.

For the bandits, their subordinates are the foundation of their lives, and everyone wants to control more soldiers and horses, and they are louder in the mountains.

But who is in charge of more soldiers and horses, who is in charge of what soldiers, and whose weapons are better, these are all taken seriously by Shi Jin. Otherwise, if one is not good, it will provoke anger and resentment.

Although people can't beat you, it's not difficult for people to say bad things about you, or even encourage their subordinates to slip away.

At that time, not to mention the loss of soldiers and horses, the previous silver was wasted, which was a big blow to Shi Jin's reputation alone.

Fame is an amazing thing!

There is no fame, who knows your existence, who knows which onion you are!

Even if you have sky-high ambitions and vast abilities, those talented and wise people don't know to turn to you.

It's like a company that is not famous, and it recruits. Who knows if you can apply.

But big companies are different, even if they don't take the initiative to send out information, someone will inquire, and they can even work for free, just to get in and earn work experience.

In the same way, once you have a reputation, no matter how weak you are, there will be a lot of talented people rushing to join you.

Just like Song Jiang, with the timely rain sung all over the rivers and lakes, with his three-legged cat's kung fu, a large group of people in the rivers and lakes bowed their heads when they saw him.

Why? Only fame!

If Shi Jin wants to gather talents, he must pay attention to his reputation. Under a bad reputation, which hero dares to take refuge!

Therefore, Shi Jin must be cautious in the distribution of soldiers and horses.
